Defend the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 58
Perhaps knowing that time is running out and there is even less time to stay in the Western Regions, Shijun Lin only lived in Yele City for two days before moving to Baiyun Temple in the north of the city.

He wanted to watch Han Pingan marry Cao Wulan's daughter "Cao Yun'er" before he left, so the Metropolitan Mansion had to be vacated quickly to "enjoy his old age" for the Metropolitan Cao Wulan who was about to return to Yele City.

An Fuyan will go to Guishu after receiving the imperial decree. Like Lin Shijun, he wants to finish his daughter's marriage before leaving.

The past two days have been very busy, not only to hand over the defense of more than 4000 soldiers and Ye Le to General Wang, but also to send personal guards to take over Baisha City, and at the same time arrange family members to help his daughter and son-in-law take over the palace built by Cao Wulan in Baisha City.

Han Shimei, the Jiedu Tuiguan of the Four Towns and Baisha Shouzhuo, had to accompany Lin Shijun in Baiyun Temple, so he really couldn't care about his son's marriage, nor could he help his son take over the territory.

Xu Haoran made a great contribution in the thorough investigation of Cao Duman's rebellion. Lin Shijun ordered him to be the deputy envoy, and first led the five hundred soldiers brought by General Wang from Guishu to arrest more than 100 rebels including Li Chengye, Qian Chonghou and Liu Sangen. Detour to Baisha City.

Han Ping'an wanted to spend more time with the old man, but was driven back by Shijun Lin.

The inner house of the Metropolitan Governor’s Mansion was turned into a prison cell early this morning, where Cao Wulan and a large group of concubines and servants of Cao Wulan, who had just returned from Baisha City, were under house arrest. The guards were all guards of Mr. An.

I don't want to go to the backyard, and I can't stay when I walk into the front yard.

A group of family members from the General's Mansion and servants from the City Lord's Mansion came in and out. They were very busy and were nervously preparing for the wedding five days later.

The false priest listened to it in Baiyun Temple.

Huang Bowen is on his way to Chang'an.

Gu Sili and other six Turkic brats had just been real horse thieves who murdered and robbed goods. The one who robbed and killed was the high priest in the Fire Cult. He couldn't show his face easily to avoid the limelight, so he was sent to deliver a letter to Su Dasushi. By the way, the two Youyi people who went with him helped Su Dasushi take the tribe to Yele tribe for resettlement.

The Yele City Thief Capture Bureau, which has only existed for eighteen days, is left with three people: Yu Wangli, Huang Dafu and Qu Tong.

During the thorough investigation of Cao Duman's rebellion and the Mifatai case, a large number of written statements were left, which must be sorted and bound into a file.

Huang Dafu and Qu Tong, the deputy leaders of the two action teams, couldn't help, they didn't know where they went, and Yu Wangli was sweating profusely in the meeting room alone.

Seeing Han Ping'an and Yinniang coming in, Yu Wangli got up and smiled and said, "Reporting to Changshi, I've almost finished sorting out here, and I'll pack the boxes later, and let Team Huang send them to Baisha City first in the afternoon."

"Don't miss anything. When Baisha City re-establishes the Thief Hunting Agency, if you want to recruit talents, you may not be able to recruit people. You can only set up a school and recruit more smart and clever children to teach them carefully. These files are the most vivid. teaching materials."

"Chang Shi, you plan to run a school!"

"If you don't do it, no one can use it. If you don't do it, you can't do it."

"But the Yele Department has neither primary school nor county school and prefecture school. It has to start with enlightenment."

Yu Wangli felt that it was inappropriate to recruit children for teaching. After all, it was too difficult to train a talent, and the time required was too long, and it could not quench the near thirst.

Han Pingan beckoned him to sit down, clenched his fists and said: "When we arrive in Baisha City, we will open four state schools, each of which must accommodate at least [-] children.

I want to popularize four-year compulsory education, and let children between the ages of eight and 12, regardless of gender or origin, study. "

The style of study in Guan Nei is very strong, not only government schools, but also various schools, as long as the family can afford it, both boys and girls can enroll.

But this is the Western Regions, and there is no official school...

Yu Wangli thought he heard it wrong, so he couldn't help asking: "The children of slaves can also learn."

"It's not about whether it's possible, but about having to learn it."

"What if their master doesn't agree?"

"If you don't agree, you will be punished."

"But do those slaves have money to send their children to school?"

Han Ping'an thought it over long ago, and said with confidence: "Since it is compulsory education, of course we can't collect money. In addition, I plan to spend three years so that there will be no more slaves in the Yele tribe, only good family members."

Yu Wangli exclaimed in surprise: "Sanlang, I know you have a kind heart and you pity those slaves and maidservants, but if you do this, there will be a big mess, and those leaders and slave masters will definitely not agree."

"If you don't agree, you have to agree, because if you don't make up your mind, we will have no way out."

"how do I say this."

"There is Dashi in the west, Tubo in the south, Huihe in the north, and those little leaders who are not satisfied with us inside. This King Yele is not easy to do, and it can be called internal troubles and external troubles."

Han Ping'an paused, and then said: "Looking back, the Great Tang ruled the Western Regions for hundreds of years, and it was not bad for the various tribes in the Western Regions, and even let them take advantage of it. Why did they still have to be fools, and why did Tubo kill them?" They won't help us?"

Yu Wangli subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"Because we have only been kind to those leaders for many years, and the slaves of those leaders, big and small, are still living in dire straits, and have not enjoyed the benefits of my Great Tang."

"When our fists were hard, those leaders listened to us and were even willing to send troops to help us fight. Now that our fists are not hard enough, they naturally have to make their own calculations."

"So, we can no longer count on those leaders. We can only rely on the most miserable people and even slaves, let them feel our kindness, let them have a sense of happiness, so that they will listen to us."

It sounds reasonable, but it may not be so easy to do...

Yu Wangli didn't know how to comment, Han Ping'an continued: "I've thought about how to turn those slaves into good families, and strive for a peaceful solution."

"Peaceful settlement?"

"I lent money to them to redeem themselves. Of course, since it is a loan, interest must be calculated, but the interest should not be high. It can be repaid slowly in ten or twenty years. I will find a way to make a living for them, so that they can support themselves, so that they have The ability to repay the principal and interest of the ransom."

Han Ping'an paused, and then said: "The amount of the redemption money must be fair, but it can be priced according to the market in Yele City. If anyone disagrees, don't blame us for being rude. I am Wang Fa in the Yele Department, and I was dragged away. Don't blame me for ignoring my teaching."

Lend money to redeem those slaves, give those slaves a living, let those slaves make money and pay back the ransom...

This is to turn all the slaves of the big and small leaders and rich people into "slaves" of the Metropolitan Government!
It's the same as a cow and a horse, but there is hope, and I will naturally be grateful to the "King Yele" in front of me.

Yu Wangli came to understand as if enlightened, and murmured: "This is a way to make those people agree with us, but where can I find so much money?"

"This is a good deal, but the payback period is a bit longer, and several Zoroastrians will definitely be interested. Besides, we have land, a lot of land, as long as we find a way to revitalize the land, money is not a problem."

"Almost forgot, the business of those three is not over yet."

"I never thought of threatening them. We have to be reasonable and win-win."

"..."

What he said was so shocking, Yu Wangli felt that it was necessary to digest it carefully, and said with a wry smile: "Chang Shi, you sit down first, I'll go and see why the box hasn't been delivered yet."

"Go ahead, you've worked hard."

The idea is too advanced, it is normal for him not to understand.

In fact, he doesn't need to understand it, only he needs to execute it.

Han Pingan watched Yu Wangli go, then turned around and asked, "Sister, what do you think of him?"

Yinniang was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "Official Yu?"

"Ah."

"pretty good."

"You're young, you can read and write, and you look good. Sis, if you like it, I'll let Dad make the decision for you."

Yinniang came to her senses and said without thinking, "I don't like it."

Han Ping'an rubbed his temples, yawned and said, "Sister, let's not be too high-sighted, we can't find anyone better and more suitable than him in Yele."

"He's a scholar, and he's going to be a high-ranking official in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion soon. I don't look good, so he won't like me."

Yinniang turned her head and looked behind her, as if she was talking about a very ordinary thing.

Han Pingan pulled her to sit next to her: "You are my sister, he will definitely like it."

"He only likes me because I'm your sister. That's not really like it."

"Then hit until he likes it."

"Don't talk nonsense, I really don't like him. I have a lot of scars on my body, he will be scared to death when he sees it." Yinniang murmured after thinking, "I can't sleep with him."

This old lady is really a headache.

Not only extremely insecure, but also very inferior.

The male college should be married and the female college should be married. She is almost nineteen, and she will not be able to find a suitable husband in two years.

Han Pingan looked at the people outside who were busy preparing for his wedding, and asked in a low voice, "Who can fall asleep with?"

Yinniang couldn't help thinking of someone, and said, "Qu Tong."

"Qutong!"

"Ah."

Yinniang didn't think how embarrassing it was, she sat down and said, "He's guarded on the roof these few nights, I can fall asleep and I don't have nightmares anymore."

Han Ping'an suddenly realized that she and Qu Tong had similar experiences. Both had fought for their lives in the vast sea, and they both survived from nine deaths.

People gather in kind, and things are divided into groups.

The two of them are like two lone wolves. It's normal for them to cherish each other. If they can get together, they will not only report to the group for warmth, but also help each other lick their wounds.

Han Pingan thought for a while, and reminded: "But he is a barbarian, and he is a miscellaneous barbarian."

Yinniang didn't want to be unable to fall asleep all the time, let alone have nightmares when she finally fell asleep, and would be awakened by nightmares almost every night.And the old man said at dinner last night that the male college should be married and the female college should be married. He also asked General Wang if he had a suitable son.

She was silent for a moment, then raised her head and said, "Yun'er and Yu'er are all barbarians."

"Old sister, you are different from me. If I really want to have a baby who looks similar to us in the future, I can marry again at that time. Yuer Yuner will definitely not object, but you can only marry one."

"I just want to sleep soundly."

"Then let Triton be your guard, and let him guard your door every night."

"But Dad has already asked General Wang to help me make a kiss."

There are so many people, it's not easy to find a suitable one for her.

Thinking that Qu Tong should not be afraid of those horrible scars on her body, Han Ping'an nodded: "Okay, it's him, I'll help you and tell Dad later."

"Will Dad agree?"

"I'll tell you that he will definitely agree, but it's useless if you like Qu Tong. This kind of thing is all about mutual affection. You have to ask him first if he likes you and if he wants to marry you."

"Let me ask?"

Han Ping'an couldn't help thinking of his mother, and couldn't help laughing: "Of course, let me ask."

Yinniang is not a shy lady, and this matter is urgent, if it is delayed, she may be betrothed to someone else by the supervising army father.

Thinking that even Li Yu dared to speak and ask, she stood up suddenly and walked out without looking back.
